	  abstract     = {To develop AZ91D magnesium alloys with improved
properties, we have applied TiN and VN/TiN multilayer coatings
using DC magnetron sputter technique. Coating structure, surface
morphology, chemical bonding and corrosion resistance of coatings
were analyzed by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron
microscope (SEM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and
tafel extrapolation method, respectively. XPS analysis reveal that VN
overlayer reacts with oxygen at the VN/TiN interface and forms more
stable TiN layer. Morphological investigations and the corrosion
results show that VN/TiN multilayer thin film coatings are quite
effective to optimize the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys.
